I'm really happy with my horizontal Model A set-up from Road 6 customs. It's for a standard sized US plate so I just let my UK plate extend below it just a bit. I swapped out the standard bulb and lens for an led lens set-up and am really happy with the results. I also took some scotch brite to the polished stainless housing and really like the satin finish it has now.

a little pricy but I really like the "roto-plate" you can rock it however you want and comply with all state laws when you choose.

bullets for taillights and a nice shock mounted plate for the tag or keep your current one. I prefer run brake turn lights over a single tag light for visibility and looks.

I'm interested in seeing how yours holds up. I've seen a couple of these where they broke leaving the rider with no plate once they got to their destination. I haven't heard of anyone having good luck with these long term. I love the way they look but these durability issues have kept me away from them.

I fabbed a side mount from 3/16 plate steel and wired it with an LED frame from Custom Dynamics. Powdered the OEM signals, mounted them way up front on the struts and use a Run-Turn-Brake module. The back end looks even cleaner when the turn signals aren't sticking out of the end like tail fins.

Rounder - your flat black paint turned out awesome. Bike looks great.
